Luis Rojas just received some extra vacation:
New York Mets manager Luis Rojas was handed a two-game suspension and an undisclosed fine by Major League Baseball on Monday for “excessive arguing” with umpires during Sunday’s 7-6 win over Pittsburgh.
Rojas will begin serving the suspension during Monday’s game at Cincinnati.
ESPN.com
He argued a fair-foul call that was not reviewable. Having replay means you can’t argue long, even if the play does not involve video. A suspension seems a bit harsh, however.
Update: A reader indicated that Rojas likely bumped an ump. That’s very different. Excuse my Emily Litella moment.
To be fair, he appeared to bump the umpire.
Thanks, Mark, I didn’t notice that in the story.
